Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for applying liquid, pasty or plastic substances, in particular thermoplastics, to a substrate, the substance being melted, heated and applied to the substrate through an opening gap of a perforated cylinder, which is then lifted off the cylinder, and a device therefor.
  • Such a device is known for example from DE-OS 26 38 307.
  • the object of the present invention is to show further improvements in the application of the molten substance to the substrate and to have a favorable influence on the coating quality.
  • the cylinder is connected to an energy source and is itself designed as a heat source for the substance.
  • the cylinder which serves as a template for the coating, was exposed to heat at most from the outside.
  • the basic idea of the present invention is to design the cylinder itself as a heat source, it preferably being connected to a power source and thereby serving as resistance heating.
  • the heating of the cylinder can be controlled much more precisely, so that the effects of the heating of the cylinder on the coating itself can also be regulated.
  • the heating of the cylinder itself vaporizes a substantial proportion of the liquid which is in the coating substance, and even that the coating substance is "baked" or sintered. This significantly improves the quality of the coating and simplifies the process, since drying ovens can be omitted.
  • threads are formed to a much lesser extent when the coated substrate is lifted off the cylinder.
  • a sliding contact is preferably used to connect the metal cylinder to the power source.
  • the invention also covers the basic idea that after the coated substrate has been lifted off the cylinder itself, the threads between the coating and the cylinder are removed. On the one hand, this can be done mechanically, for example by cutting the threads.
  • a laser source that removes the threads without further difficulties appears to be particularly suitable here.
  • the laser also has the advantage, when it strikes the coated substrate, that it melts the surface of the coating drops and cross-links them better. This also significantly improves the quality of the coating.
  • a cylindrical lens can also be used, which produces a linear focus.
  • the coating of the coated substrate with an additional material web takes place only subsequently to the coating of the substrate, heat then having to be supplied to the coated substrate or the coating substance in order for it to be effective in connecting the material web.
  • the present invention also encompasses the idea that the coated substrate is covered with the material web immediately after it has been lifted off the cylinder, so that an additional operation of reheating or keeping warm is saved. For this purpose, it should prove to be the most favorable if the lifting roller itself is assigned a corresponding calender for feeding the material web.
  • a further improvement of the coating takes place in that the individual points are connected to one another in the point coating.
  • channels are arranged on the surface of the cylinder, which connect the corresponding openings for the spot coating to one another.
  • a particularly noteworthy improvement concerns the supply of molten substance to the mouth gap of the coating head.
  • the main chamber is continuously connected to the mouth gap. If the melted substance is introduced into the main chamber, the already melted substance flows through the area of the mouth gap near the inlet of this substance when the substance has not even reached the distant area of the mouth gap.
  • a control element which is arranged in the main chamber and / or a separate throttle chamber, is used for this purpose.
  • this control element can be a half-cylinder, which causes the mouth gap to close. If this half-cylinder is rotated, the region of the mouth gap which is remote from the inlet of the substance opens first. When the control element is turned further, the entire mouth gap is successively opened retrospectively. As a result, the mass order is balanced.
  • the control element is in a separate throttle chamber, its axis of rotation should be arranged in the plane of a wall of the mouth gap.
  • a substrate 1 to be coated runs into a coating gap 2 from a supply roller (not shown in more detail).
  • This coating gap 2 is formed by a perforated cylinder 3, in particular a metal cylinder, and a counter-pressure roller 4.
  • the counter-pressure roller 4 is preferably made of elastic material.
  • the distance between the axis of rotation A of the counter-pressure roller 4 and the axis of rotation B of the cylinder 3 is smaller than the sum of the radii of the cylinder 3 and the counter-pressure roller 4.
  • the elastic counter-pressure roller 4 is deformed in the region of the coating gap 2 by the pressure of the cylinder 3. This deformation is of course also given if, in the narrower sense, no coating gap is formed between cylinder 3 and roller 4 without a substrate.
  • a coating head 5 presses against the inner surface 6 of the cylinder 3 from the inside of the cylinder 3.
  • a contact surface 8 is formed around an opening gap 7 of the coating head 5 on both sides of the opening gap 7, this contact surface 8 having a radius r1, which is larger than the radius r of the cylinder 3.
  • the substrate 1 After the coating gap 2, the substrate 1 still runs a certain distance on the cylinder 3, then lifts off and loops around a roller 9.
  • the coating head 5 should be able to be subjected to heat by heating elements 10, this exposure being controlled by a control unit 11. Furthermore, the mouth gap 7 in the coating head 5 is preceded by a main chamber 12, which is connected via corresponding connection channels 13 or feed lines 14 to a source for molten substance (not shown). A 3-way valve 15 can be switched into line 14, via which line 14 is alternately connected to the source of coating substance or to a vacuum pump 16.
  • the cylinder 3 itself becomes a heat source.
  • the cylinder 3 becomes a resistor that heats itself through the connection.
  • the connection values may be around 2-10 volts and 700-900 ⁇ .
  • Slip contacts 18, which are only shown schematically, are suitable for transmitting the electrical energy. Appropriate insulation should then be provided towards the coating head 5 in the area of the contact surface 8.
  • the design of the cylinder 3 as an independent heat source has significant advantages with regard to the quality of, for example, the applied spot coating. At the points there are hardly any tails protruding upwards, as was the case with the coating processes known to date.
  • the coating substance Because of the mouth area of the coating head (no doctor blade), the coating substance needs to have a lower moisture content. This is then evaporated faster and more completely by the heated cylinder, so that the liquid content of the substance can be drastically reduced. I.e. the coating substance is already "baked” to a certain extent, which also increases the quality of the coating.
  • the area between cylinder 3 and roller 9 is assigned a device 19 for removing threads, which is only indicated schematically.
  • This device 19 can be designed mechanically, but it then has considerable disadvantages.
  • the "thread cutting" should preferably be done by heat, with every conceivable heat source being intended to be encompassed by the inventive concept.
  • a laser beam will preferably be used as a special heat source.
  • the absorption spectrum of this laser beam should correspond approximately to the emission spectrum of the coating substance, whereby the substance is also changed and influenced by the laser beam, that is to say in particular is crosslinked. This in turn can increase the adhesive force, the point is held together like a net and does not flow apart.
  • the roller 9 is to be followed by a heat zone 20 which is also only shown schematically.
  • a heat zone 20 which is also only shown schematically.
  • small dots are formed on the dots, for example during the dot coating by a thermoplastic substance. It has been found that when the coated substrate 1 is passed through a heat zone 20, these tails are drawn in, and this in turn significantly improves the quality of the coating.
  • FIG. 1 Another embodiment of a coating head 5a is shown in FIG.
  • a control element 23 is inserted into the main chamber 12, which controls the passage of melted substance from the main chamber 12 to the orifice gap 7.
  • this control element 23 consists of a half cylinder 24 which can be rotated about its longitudinal axis C.
  • FIG. 3 shows that part of this half cylinder 24 has a conical cut 25.
  • the half cylinder 24 is inserted into the main chamber 12 so that its end with the greatest abrasion is far from the inlet of the substance into the main chamber 12.
  • an opening first takes place far from the inlet of the substance. The substance is thus forced to penetrate as deep as possible into the main chamber 12 so that the mass application can be compensated for over the entire length of the orifice gap 7.
  • the shape and length of the conical section 25 is only indicated schematically in FIG. 3. Depending on the requirements and depending on, for example, the viscosity of a substance, this form can be different.
  • the idea of the invention also includes an improvement of the cylinder 3 itself.
  • a cylinder 3a according to FIG. 4 not only has openings 26 for spot coating, but the individual openings 26 are connected to one another by channels 28 formed in the surface 27 of the cylinder 3a. This results in a lattice-like coating application.
  • heat pipes 29 are arranged in the main chamber 12.
  • a hot oil is guided so that the coating substance in the main chamber 12 is kept at a certain heat level.
  • control element 23a is not in the main chamber 12 but in a separate throttle chamber 30.
  • the control element 23a is shown in the closed position for the orifice gap 7. Its longitudinal axis C preferably lies in the plane of a wall 31 of the mouth gap 7.
  • a vacuum chamber 32 should therefore be connected upstream of the orifice gap 7 and can be evacuated via a corresponding line 33.
  • the air is evacuated from these openings 26 so that they do not prevent the passage of the coating substance. This also significantly improves the quality of the coating itself.
